    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have been researching several smaller incubators. i need something smaller simply because i only have 1 female old enough to breed. and i probly wont get over 5-6 snakes all together. so only 2-3 batches of eggs at once will be hatched

i was thinking about a hova bator but i keep finding ppl who are having issues with them and i dont want to build one. (im not a skilled person) and i want it to look nice.

THANKS PPL
 
Hovabators work fine. Just use a seperate thermostat and take out the wafer. Let it run wide open and the thermostat control the temps.
You could also look into the Zoomed Retibator.
That has the thermostat built in and a digital readout of temp and humidity.
Set it an go.
The Zoomed would probably be the cheapest since you won't need a seperate thermostat.
 
Misty,
Also someone has found a really inexpensive version of the one incubator lllreptile is selling. I bought mine from lllreptile and it is about perfect for maybe 2 ball python clutches. If they are small that is. :) Steve is right they have the thermostat and everything built in.

Check out this one. It looks like from reading the comments think geeks sell one that holds 5 liters less which in your case, I would guesstimate anyways, it would be much of a problem.

Last year I filled my big incubator and used a Hovabator as an emergency for my last Ball Python clutch. I kept a really good eye on it but then I also keep a really good eye on any incubator I use and everything hatched out perfectly fine. I had no problems. I've now used the Hovabators for Ball Pythons, Bearded Dragons, Leopard Geckos, Chameleons, Leopard Tortoises, and I think that's it. For a small incubator they've done fine for me. That's just me. Im sure there are a tone of other opinions good and bad out there.
